For 29 seasons, this show has invited thousands of guests with all kinds of diverse points of view.
2
And we have been asking our next guest to join us for a while now.
3
So we're glad that he's taken us up on the offer today.
4
Please welcome author of the new book, Communion, Finding My Way Back to Faith, the Vice President of the United States, J.D.
5
Vance.
6
I was surprised at how tall you were.
7
You're very tall.
8
If you only see somebody on TV, you just see their, in my case, giant heads.
9
We all have giant heads.
10
That's how tall I am.
11
That's right.
12
We are the.. we are the table of big heads here.
13
Um, Alyssa...
14
So this is a show of MAGA Republicans, right?
15
That's what my media team told me?
16
Okay, good.
17
Well, we'll find out.
18
Uh, I think you have the first question, Alyssa.
19
Yes, Mr. Vice President, thank you for being with us.
20
Now, you came into office with clear momentum, but when I talked to my friends and family who supported you and the president, and still support you and the president,
21
one issue comes up time and time again, and it's the economy.
22
Inflation's up, wages are down, gas prices are starting to drop at news of this Iran deal, which we will get to.
23
Sure.
24
What can you say to voters who trusted you to lower costs on day one, and will they be satisfied by November?
25
Well, I think that's ultimately up to the voters, right?
26
I think voters have every right to expect as much as possible out of their elected representatives.
27
We certainly know that we were elected on a number of mandates.
28
One was to close the border, which I think we've done successfully, exceeded expectations there.
29
Number two was to lower prices, and there's a lot of work to do in large part
30
because of what's happened over the last few months in the Middle East.
31
But as you said, oil, which got up to $120 a barrel, now is at $80 a barrel.
32
That's gonna be reflected in lower fuel, lower food, lower energy prices.
33
But there's a lot more work to do.
34
The thing that I'm proudest about most, because as some of you may know, I grew up in one of these towns that was forgotten by the leaders in Washington of both parties,
35
is that you're seeing, that's Middletown, Ohio.
36
That's my hometown in southwestern Ohio.
37
It was a proud steel town.
38
I was raised by a grandfather who was a union steel worker.
39
is that those jobs disappeared, those factories closed down.
40
The thing that I'm most excited about is you do see a large amount of capital investment coming into our country.
41
Factories being built, construction jobs are way up, manufacturing jobs are starting to catch up.
42
So there's a lot more work to do.
43
I think that we're making progress, but ultimately we're going gonna make our pitch to the voters in November, and they're the ones who get to decide whether we've done a good job or not, and that's how they're gonna vote.
44
Okay.
45
So President Trump has called affordability a hoax.
46
He said that, not me.
47
He's pouring money into this ballroom of his and the reflecting pool.
48
Oh, don't forget the arch to Trump pay, I call it.
49
And a White House cage match.
50
All these things, why is he doing them when you just, everybody knows that Americans are struggling.
51
What is he spending all this money for?
52
Well, I got to defend the president on the hoax point.
53
What the president said is the idea that Republicans cause the affordability problem is a hoax.
54
And I think that's true.
55
If you go back to the Biden administration, inflation got up to 9% under the Biden administration.
56
Okay.
57
Right now it's at 3.5%.
58
By the way, too high.
59
We're doing everything that we can to bring it back down to two and a half percent, which is where most people would like to see it.
60
But we inherited an affordability problem.
61
We're doing a lot to make it better.
62
It's going to take a little bit of time.
63
There's a lot more work to do.
64
But the president knows that a lot of Americans are struggling.
65
In fact, he ran on that.
66
He talked about it.
67
And we've done some things and made some good progress on that point.
68
He just said he loves the inflation.
69
What he said, Anna, what he said is that he loves the fact
70
that the inflation is going to come down when this war is over.
71
That's what he said.
72
That's not what he said.
73
That wasn't a direct.
74
That's not what he said.
75
Wait, are you his interpreter or are you his vice president?
76
Come on.
77
Well, look, what the president said, people were asking about the inflation.
78
They were asking about the affordability problem, which again is very real.
79
And what he said is, I love the inflation because it's gonna come down when the war is over.
80
And now again, we already see gas prices, gas prices today, $4.06 a gallon, too high, but way down from where they were just a couple of weeks ago.
81
So there's a lot, again, there's a lot we gotta do, but I think that we're doing as much as we can.
82
We're gonna keep on working at it.
83
And again, the American people are gonna make their verdict, but I think that we have a very credible case to run on that we brought a lot of new investment, we're building the factories.
84
That is gonna pay serious dividends for the American people over the long haul. When?
85
Well, Joy, if you look at manufacturing jobs, those jobs are increasing at a large number.
86
Construction jobs are doing a little bit better.
87
So what happens is the construction jobs to build the factories, and then the manufacturing workers go back to work.
88
That also leads to rising wages.
89
That's one of the things that I'm very proud of, is if you look at the amount that wages are going up now compared to, say, 2022, they're going up way faster.
90
That's a good thing.
91
The affordability problem.
92
Again, gas, way too high right now.
93
Certain things, way too high.
94
You know, rents have been either flat or down for 12 months now.
95
So there are things that are showing signs of life, things that are showing signs of progress.
96
My view, I'm sure you guys don't agree with it, is that we inherited a mess and we're fixing it.
97
But sometimes it takes a long time to fix a mess.
98
Sunny.
99
Okay.
100
Mr. Vice President, according to a new report from the New York Times, you were the leading voice behind the scenes to release the Epstein files.
101
And we applaud you for that.
102
And you warned top officials, including top DOJ officials, at strategy meetings taking place inside the Situation Room,
103
we understand that there are tapes of those meetings, that this was a huge problem for the base.
104
The report says you even floated having Tucker Carlson interview Ghislaine Maxwell to clear the president's name,
105
but you were rebuffed by your people.
106
Why?
107
Well, I'd say first of all, don't believe everything that you read in any newspaper, whether it's a right-leaning paper or a left-leaning paper because as you guys know, well, there are things that are true,
108
things that are false, and things that are totally missing context.
109
Well, here's what I'll say.
110
So, number one, I am, frankly, kind of a conspiracy theory on the Epstein stuff, and that story says that that's one of the things that's true, is that some people called me a conspiracy theory on the Epstein stuff.
111
The chief of staff, Susie Wiles, called you a conspiracy theorist.
112
And I love Susie, but absolutely, she thinks I'm a conspiracy theorist on the Epstein stuff
113
because I think that it's crazy
114
that you had this guy who is clearly a sex predator
115
who is hanging out with a lot of very wealthy and powerful people.
116
Like, that really bothered me.
117
I don't know what's there, of course.
118
Nobody knows exactly what happened unless you were there, but that really bothered me, and I wanted to have full transparency.
119
What I disagree with is the idea that the White House wasn't committed to full transparency.
120
We have to remember, like, I was inside the room when some of these decisions were made.
121
The Epstein Files Transparency Act, the one that the president signed, the one that led to all these files that we're seeing, the emails.
122
By the way, again, sorry, Dwight, do I have to defend my boss?
123
I know you guys don't always appreciate this, but, you know, one of the things you see in the Epstein emails is
124
that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump and that Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police.
125
That's one of the things that came out of these files.
126
They were best friends for about a decade.
127
And remember, he signed that Transparency Act under duress when some Republican women, Congresswomen like Lauren Boebert, like Marjorie Taylor Greene,
128
did not give in to his pressure of not signing.
129
He brought Lauren Boebert into the situation room to pressure her into caving on not voting for that bill.
130
So let me respond to that.
131
That's all true.
132
Let me respond to that.
133
So number one is yes, Donald Trump, he said this, he knew Jeffrey Epstein back in the 1980s.
134
He also threw Jeffrey Epstein out of his club
135
when he found out he was a creep and reported him to the police.
136
That's something that the media often misses when it reports this story.
137
They tell the fact that they knew each other in the 80s, which the president himself admits, they ignore the fact that he narked on him to the police and led ultimately to Jeffrey Epstein's downfall.
138
To that point, Anna, you know the Republican party.
139
Well, it's one of the things that led to law enforcement investigation, but on the point that you made.
140
It was allegedly over a real estate deal that they hadn't got into a fight over.
141
But the email says, the email says actually.
142
They didn't just know each other.
143
Let's just be truthful and transparent here.
144
They didn't just know each other.
145
They were incredibly close friends.
146
He reported him to the police.
147
That's what I'm saying.
148
That is objectively true.
149
But Anna made another point.
150
Whoopi, if I may, because Anna made a very important point.
151
This question about did Donald Trump release these files only under duress from Republicans?
152
And Anna, you know the Republican Party probably better than I do.
153
The idea that Donald Trump runs around afraid of Republican congressmen as opposed to the other way around is kind of crazy.
154
What was the bipartisan note?
155
Was Republicans and Democrats?
156
But because the Republicans control the House and the Senate, particularly the Senate, you need the Republican sign off.
157
What the president did is look, I will I will say this again.
158
I was in there in the meetings.
159
He was very frustrated that the Democrats were making this about him when he's like, look, I threw the guy out of my club.
160
I am the guy who reported him to the police or one of the people who reported to the police.
161
The president was frustrated about that.
162
Absolutely.
163
But he eventually came to say, you know what, let's just get everything out there.
164
Let's have this out in the public.
165
And he actually called the senators.
166
I was there.
167
He called the senators and said, you know what, pass this bill, I'll sign it.
168
And that was it.
169
Let me follow up briefly.
170
Let me follow up briefly.
171
Yes.
172
It sounds like you believed that there would be men in the files who would be held accountable.
173
Rightfully so.
174
And the American people are with you on this.
175
Why haven't we seen the release of over 2.5 million additional Epstein file documents?
176
It seems like you are someone that is on the right side of history on this.
177
So we've released, I think it's six million files or six million pages of documents.
178
My understanding is the 2.5 million, Sonny, I'm gonna check on this to make sure, but my understanding is that a lot of those are duplicates of things that have already been released.
179
We're not holding anything back.
180
Some of those things are like the courts have to order you to release them.
181
So that was one thing that we confronted.
182
You talk about this situation in meetings is, you know, there was a big bunch of files that existed, I think in the Southern District of New York, or maybe it was some other jurisdiction, But we were like, we want to release these files,
183
but you need the court approval in order to release the files.
184
Sometimes we would apply to release the files and the courts would say no. So those particular documents, I would need to actually like know exactly what you're talking about.
185
Because three and a half million documents were released, and my understanding is 2.5 million have not been released.
186
Those may have been the ones that are under court.
187
I don't know what the documents you're talking about, but I'm telling you, we're- Let me go to break.
188
Sure.
189
Let me go to break.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
